Miley’s p.o.v
It took everything in me to go on stage and start to sing. I tried to ignore what was going on around me. I focused on nothing. I cleared my mind from everything around me and focused on my voice, the sounds, the tones, the drums. I sang; 1 song, 2 songs, 3 songs. I took a break and looked around at the crowd. They all screamed and cheered, but it was all a blur.
I had sold out Madison Square Garden for the 5th time. This was the last show of my tour, and probably the last tour of my career. Everyone screamed at me, lights flashed. I took a deep breath before I slowly walked down the runway. This was it.
“If you guys could quite down for a moment.” I spoke loudly. The music went out. The lights went dim, everyone focused on me. It was quiet, peaceful. Moments like these were rare.
“I just want to thank you all, so much.” I started looking around the room. The crowd started clapping and shouting.
“Please, stay quite.” I laughed softly. They quieted down and watched my every move. Everything about this moment made me want to break. The intensity was too much at times like these.
“I promise, this won’t take long.” I smiled. I contained myself, as best as I could.
“I know this show was extremely hyped about. I have been looking forward to it myself. But, not in the way that you all might assume. I love what I do, I enjoy writing, singing and performing.” I cleared my throat.
“This is what I grew up around, and all I ever knew. I am so humble to see how far I have come, the awards, the performance, and the fans. My smilers mean so much to me. I am so grateful for my team, my crew, my friends, and my family.” I sighed.
“This was a hard decision, but I have been in the spotlight for a long time. There is so much more to life than this, and I know it is time for me to let go, and explore. I love you all, but it is time for me to put the mic down.” I said, I felt the tears roll down my face. The crowd was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. I took a deep breath before I continued.
“My whole life has been in the spotlight. I have never been able to be free in my everyday life, although I don’t regret the choice I made...I just can’t live like that anymore. I have sacrificed so much, my childhood, my education, and even love, just so I could get on stage and perform.” I paused. “I loved the feel of that amazing rush, but then I would get off stage and feel completely empty.” I cried even more.
“I have lost so much, and I have gained little. I am so sorry if I let any of you down, I hate letting people down. I just can’t do this to myself anymore. I don’t know if this will be the last time I sing for a crowd, you never know. But, I do know that I need a break. I need to discover the world, and focus on myself.” I felt the tears take over my body as emotions from early came flooding in. I feel to my feet and cried. I felt arms wrap around me.
“It’s okay,” Noah whispered in my ear. Brandi helped me back to my feet. I turned around and saw my whole family standing there. Trace wrapped his arms tightly wrapped around me as I fell into his chest.
“We are here for you, Miley.” My father spoke while rubbing my back. After a few moments I contained myself and looked back at the crowd.
“I never promised I would do this forever, no one in this industry can promise that. It is hard, and the ride is bumpy. I have enjoyed every moment of this and I am thankful for all of my supporters.” I spoke.
“Just before I came on stage…I lost someone.” I sighed. “No one died, but I lost one of my closest friends. He meant more to me then he will ever be aware of. He was the only thing that pushed me through this tour. This has been an emotional, and physical roller coaster. Losing him, it changed things.” I nodded my head.
“I am going to stop crying now and sing for you guys, I want you guys to enjoy this show. I love you, and I am thankful for you all, even the people who aren’t here tonight.” I nodded my head signaling for the band to start up again.
The music started to play, and I focused in on the crowd and the smiles, screams, shouts, signs, and the excitement. I let my body enter that deep rush that I would soon return from as soon as I walked off the stage. I let my worries go, I didn’t think about anything. I sang my heart out, for the last time.
“Thank you guys so much, it has been an amazing journey!” I shouted walking down the runway for the last time.
“I am so blessed, honored, and happy that I had such amazing supporters along my journey.” I waved with a smiled on my face.
“Thank you for giving me the ride of my life!” I smiled again before walking off stage.
“Miley, we are so proud of you!” My father shouted picking me up into the biggest bear hug. He set me back down as the rest of my family gathered around me and hugged me.
“Now, let’s go get our party on!” My mother shouted. I smiled lightly and nodded.
